This is great to see 😊

This is our country! We, the Americans who believe in the Constitution, the rule of law, justice, freedom, decency, basic human rights, this is our country.

The loudest, dumbest voices in the room have dominated the narrative. They believe we are weak, that we are submissive, that we will roll over to tyranny.

That is not the case.

Good on San Diego residents for fighting these gestapo traitors! We must all fight back when we see wrong, when we see lawlessness, when we see violations of our Constitution and others rights.

What this administration is doing is wrong. So many don’t see that due to their propaganda intake. It will take the true Americans to stand up to this for it to be stopped.

There are more decent Americans than cruel ones. There are more good people than evil people. There is more kindness than hatred.

I’m not saying we don’t fight fire with fire, I’m saying. DON’T GIVE UP.

We got em on the ropes, keep swinging!!

Fk maga! Fk Trump! And Fk fascism! This is America god damnit!! Let’s take it back!!!

Not so friendly reminder to keep your feral fucking dogs on a leash!! (Not at poster)

Thanks to my neighbor's aggressive dog, my cane is now bent because I needed to stop it from getting so close. Where I am, it's a fucking LAW for a reason!!

Usually, I'm against laws, BUT KEEP YOUR DOG ON A FUCKING LEASH!!

this is likely important to someone! I do wonder if you sent this to the right blog!

in terms of accessibility , specifically in how people write posts , want to remind everyone that not every difference is choice , and thus not able to change . 

differences which can not just change : 

dyslexia 

use of assistive technologies to type

not first language

word salad - as in symptom of things like mania , schizophrenia , this is not simple word for misinformation

brain injuries

in general , any " different from normal " grasp on language - syntaxes , grammars , word retrievals , traits beyond spelling

of course , yes , non-native speakers can learn more natural fluency with time , some dyslexic people can use autocorrect or dictation to lower letter mistakes , and so on .

but these situations can not just change upon request , and most will not just recover later . someone with brain injury in language centres can not just spontaneously regrow these to fix mistakes , for example . 

differences which can change :

intentionally misspell words to mimic baby speech , speech impediments , etc

use of different fonts

use of characters from different languages as fonts - often also disrespectful and great confusion to speakers of those languages

use of colours in text

character substitutions in general - such as 3 for E

muscle memory can make these things feel more natural , easy even . and yes , understand there can be great emotional comfort in some of these . but there is choice and ability to simply not use these - certainly doubt these show up in school or work projects .

would argue , if intend for post to serve as information which all should see , then please avoid such quirks . not even quirk text first and plain text after : people who need that plain text might simply skip post entirely due to inaccessibility of start , never to know there was plain text , and never to learn that information . 

but also , if struggle to read what someone write , please try to think about whether or not this is in choice . some people refuse to give plain text of quirks because that is " too much work " , and this is cruel attitude . but others do not have ability to change and to rephrase , and can have no answer other than " not possible , sorry " . 

[ this post is not invitation to compliment how anyone write . this is plea for basic decency and manners , not compliments . ]

How I feel as; a minor / multishipper / someone who understands that to each their own on how they interpret a media, its characters and relationships / that it’s never deep enough because the message and the work put into creating something is always the priority ect..

Seeing grown adults, who pay taxes and can vote, get pressed and write/say heinous shit over said media or characters:

It’s impressive how immature people are sometimes. It makes me wonder who’s the teenager..

OFC YOU CAN CRITICIZE but if you’re going to be an a-hole just hop on ao3 like everyone else.

Get a grip. Stay polite.

A Great Quote 😊😊

[eugenedebs1920]

As of Monday afternoon the wildfires in California had consumed over 36,000 acres leaving a death toll of 24. When asked in an interview regarding funding for disaster relief, Alabama senator Tommy Tubervill said this “We shouldn’t be [funding California]. They got 30 million people in that state they vote in these imbeciles in to office” former collage football coach and by far the dumbest senator continued, “you go in to California you run in to a lot of Republicans, a lot of good people and I hate it for them. But they are just overwhelmed by these inner city woke policies with people who vote for them. Those people don’t deserve anything unless they show that they’re going to make some changes”.

Notwithstanding the not so subtle racism of ‘inner city woke’ comment, exactly what is the senator from the state ranked 44th out of 50 for living standards, health, education, opportunity, natural environment, ect, saying?

Alabama’s GDP grosses $300 billion, with a population of a little over 5.1 million people, they are the 14th highest recipient of federal welfare assistance, they are 45th in education and 44th in overall health. Over 360,000 residents receive rental assistance and nutritional assistance.

Yes. California ranks number one for dollar amount federal assistance. Although upon further analysis the percentages are far less unbalanced as the numbers would suggest.

California is the WORLDS 5th largest economy, grossing $3,862 billion annually, with a population of nearly 40 million. That is over 10 times the annual revenue Alabama takes in, with almost 10 times the population as well.

Does California have its share of difficult circumstances it deals with, with some questionable solutions to do so? Yes. Yet seeing as it’s the top contributor to federal tax revenue they obviously are functioning beyond the norm.

Overall the states that fund this nation the most are, California, New York, New Jersey, Texas, Pennsylvania and Florida. States such as the Dakotas, Wyoming, Mississippi, Kentucky, and yes, Alabama, contribute a dismal amount in contrast.

Let’s look back to late summer of last year. When two hurricanes devastated the the lower southeastern states, Helene causing monumental destruction and incredible loss of life. Did the Biden administration use these disasters as a political tool? Did he suggest that they shouldn’t get funding until they remedy their bigoted, unconstitutional voter suppression and gerrymandering? No. He said that the United States government is here for you. While right wing politicians and media plastered the victims with false statements and misinformation, confusing and misleading the afflicted Americans, FEMA and the Biden administration begged the survivors to reach out for help. The politically motivated lies even spurred FEMA to create a specific website combating the false claims and offering assistance.

There’s the old saying, Rome wasn’t made in a day, the recovery from these massive events unfortunately takes time also. Yet NEVER did Democrats or Biden lead folks astray, exploit their vulnerability, or abandon them. I know, I reside in a county that was declared a disaster area after Helene. The federal response was quick, and thorough.

What did the right do? Lie. Mislead. Frighten. Contrive a self serving narrative. Enrage those impacted and scrambling to piece their lives back together.

The void of compassion, the insufficiency of truth, the lack of maturity from much of the right is astounding. When did we begin using the suffering of Americans as a tool to advance your political agenda? When did it become the status quo to segregate assistance to only those who align with your political views? What was the moment when helping your fellow American out in a time of need was tethered to conditions?

In my just over 40 years on this earth I’ve seen the GOP go from being a party of fiscal responsibility, “Christian family values”, the party of law and order, and the party of high moral standards, to now where over a quarter of the current deficit was created in one Republican presidential term, a party of nominating, elected and confirming sexual assailants and predators (not just Trump), a party that not only backs and supports a felonious insurrectionist, but tiptoes, if not flat out violates the Constitution and rule of law, and a party that has no self awareness of its own misgivings.

Personally. I want leaders who are far more intelligent and far more qualified than me to be in charge. I want leaders who harbor self restraint and possess an extraordinary sense of moral fortitude. I want leaders with grace and maturity running the various aspects of this country. I want leaders who care and hold reverence to their values and to the oath of office they swear to.

Can we go back to a time where those who represent us were adults? Can we go back to a time where government was beholden to you as an American citizen regardless if you reside in a blue state or red state? Can we go back to a time where leadership wasn’t a popularity, tribalist, culture war crusade?

We are all humans. We all feel pain. We all feel joy. We all bleed red. Most importantly we are all citizens of the United States of America, key word united.

This shouldn’t be this hard. It shouldn’t be this controversial or complicated. We are one nation, we all want to see it flourish. We all do better when we are all doing better.

So please! Let’s return to decency. To compassion. To respect. To some mild form of social adhesion.

Let the watchwords of all our people be the old familiar watchwords of honesty, decency, fair-dealing, and commonsense.... We must treat each man on his worth and merits as a man. We must see that each is given a square deal, because he is entitled to no more and should receive no less. The welfare of each of us is dependent fundamentally upon the welfare of all of us.

—Theodore Roosevelt, the "Square Deal" speech, delivered at the New York State Fair, Syracuse, NY, Sep 7, 1903

"I support everyone in this minority but why do they"

no. just no. saying you support someone but wishing they hide parts of who they are is not supporting. its tolerating.

There should be intimacy coordinators all over the world, in every profession. That'd be great. The more we can protect people that need protection, the better.

I hate it when people post pictures online and random people (specifically their faces) are very clearly in the picture.

Either post a different picture, blur their faces or cover it up.

It's so rude in my opinion.

People really should think more before posting pics.
